Geologists use circles to find the epicenter of an earthquake.
What else can I help you with?
What does the of each circle represent in a epicenter?
I got it from my science book its geologist use seismic waves to locate the earthquakes epicenter (that's what the circle center is epicenter)
What does the center of each circle represent in the epicenter?
I got it from my science book its geologist use seismic waves to locate the earthquakes epicenter (that's what the circle center is epicenter)
Do geologist locate the epicenter of an earthquake?
They Use A Seismograp and look at the squiggles on the paper.
What does the center of each circle represent in a epicenter?

How do you locate an earthquakes epicenters?
An earthquakes epicenter is the point on the surface directly above the focus
Can geologist use data from only two seismographic stations to locate an earthquake's epicenter?
yes it can
How do geologist locate the epicenter of an earthquake?
This job would normally be undertaken by a type of geophysicist known as a seismologist rather than a geologist. For information on how seismologists locate seismic waves, see the related question.
When you are trying to locate an epicenter why is it necessary to know the distance the epicenter for at least three recording stations?
It is necessary to know thedistance from the epicenter for at least three recording stations so, geologist could compare better and when an epicenter is created they can know which one is the farthest and which one is the closest.
What is the fewest number of seismic stations needed to locate an earthquakes epicenter?
At least three seismic stations are needed to locate an earthquake's epicenter using the triangulation method. By measuring the time it takes for seismic waves to reach each station, scientists can pinpoint the epicenter where the three circles intersect.
What is the origin point of earthquakes?
The epicenter.
Where volcanoes and earthquakes occur?
Anywhere where the earths plates meet. Earthquakes occur only were there is an epicenter. Were ever the epicenter is the earthquake will happen.
Where on the surface do earthquakes effect the most?
Epicenter
